Tom Isakeit, a plant pathologist with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in College Station, is the event's keynote speaker, Market Manager Noah Thompson said. Members will also use the meeting as a chance to elect new officers.

The meeting is open to the public, Thompson said, noting the market hopes to bring on new members for the upcoming season.

"It always helps to have more vendors," he said. "We're looking for new recruits."
